    Sidbury triumph as Southwell draw with Port Alfred

    After another round of Grahamstown Cricket Board (GCB) action, Southwell remain at the top of the log standing in the GCB First league, despite their tie against Port Alfred on Sunday 27 January. Meanwhile, Sidbury ensured a fine but hard-fought win against Salem.

    Sidbury vs Salem

    In hot weather conditions close to the N2 highway at the Sidbury Sports Ground, the home side clinched a nail biting win over Salem on Sunday 27 January.

    Salem batted first and could only manage to accumulate 109 runs. The Sidbury bowlers bowled extremely well and applied pressure consistently, bowling excellent line and length. Rony Roth (3/21 (6)), Peter Gradwell (2/21 (7)) and Greg Evans (2/20 (6)), were brilliant with ball in hand.

    Sidbury lost a few wickets due to some outstanding bowling by Salem bowlers early in their innings, but came back nicely. The aggressive bat of Hugh Oxenham (35*) did the talking as he took the game away from the visitors. He was well supported by Martin Calitz (22), Hugh Savage (17) and James Rippon (15).
    Sidbury won by 5 wickets, securing the bonus point.

    Southwell vs Port Alfred

    Southwell and Port Alfred played to a dramatic tie in Southwell on Sunday. Southwell batted first and were restricted to 137 (in 41.2 overs) due to disciplined bowling by the visitors. Daine Kruger was the top scorer with a fine 46 runs, while Josh Van Rensburg contributed 16 to his side’s total.

    Port Alfred were on target for a shocking upset victory, but could not clinch the win. They were forced to settle for a much needed tie, due to the strong bowling attack of the home side. Adam Cotton (4/20 (9)), Murray Hobson (2/26 (8)), Dylan Kruger (1/21 (4)) and Adrian Reed (1/13 (3.2)), were amongst the wicket takers for Southwell.
